Mike can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the current status of the builds is:
3.4 - Very stable, but has a few known bugs (reverse-engineering is broken in Entity Modeler, for one). No fixes or new development is being done.
3.5 - Mostly stable, no fixes or new development is being done.
3.6 - Somewhat unstable, but new features and bug fixes are being added. In other words, this is where all the cool kids are hanging out (not Chuck). But it is a bit risky...
Some great new features in 3.6:
1) cmd-shift-v to open Entity Modeler and jump directly to an Entity
2) Bundle-less builds (meaning Eclipse no longer has to create and keep in-sync a build directory).
3) Refined wolips.properties file management allowing you to change file contents directly in the project properties window.
The first is a great time-saver for when you are making changes to a model or just need to reference back a lot. The second should speed up general development performance since Eclipse is doing a lot less work. The third makes it more obvious where WOLips is looking for installed frameworks like WebObjects and Wonder.
In general, unless Mike says otherwise, I try to stay on whichever version he's currently using as he's the one that does a majority of the WOLips development and if WOLips is broken, it's broken for him and he'll fix it fast (usually).
So far I haven't noticed any show-stopper bugs in 3.6, but I'm just getting rolling with it.
